Sorry, but I think I'll have to withdraw from this RP after all. I've got a lot going on IRL right now and I don't know if I'll be able to keep up with the pace of this RP.

Makoto Yamazaki

Interacting with: @Lucius Cypher

---

In general, it could be said that Makoto Yamazaki had a bit of a temper. And why wouldn't she? Standing almost three meters tall and sporting bright red skin, bulging muscles, and a nice little crown of two pointy horns right above her forehead, Makoto was not the kind of person who skated through life because of their Quirk. Makoto was the exact opposite. She was the kind of person who had to fight her Quirk. Every day, all day.

Example? This morning, she had a nightmare, woke up, banged her head on the ceiling, and got stuck spending fifteen minutes trying to yank her horns out of the plaster. Then she went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and get ready for her first day at school. No shower of course. Her family couldn't afford to build one big enough for her, so she had to use the public baths on her way to school. That's why she got up at four in the morning to make her own breakfast. Most of the time it was just cereal and half a loaf of bread jammed into the toaster. Cooking the number of eggs and strips of bacon she'd need to eat just wasn't possible with a normal-sized pan and stove, and cooking multiple batches cut into the time she used to cook her lunch too much (although her mom did make bacon and eggs for her on the weekends as a treat). She had to use a bowl most would consider a feeding trough, and hold the spoon very carefully so as not to bend it. She ended up eating the whole box of cereal.

Then she left the house, bathed, and walked two hours to school. She couldn't fit in a train, car or even a bus, and while she could run or jump to get there faster, doing that tended to scare people and cause property damage she had no way to pay for (especially since there were very few part-time jobs that'd take someone like her). She got laughed at by a bunch of elementary school kids on her way there, and hit her head again on a precariously placed stoplight. Then a couple punks trying to earn a bit of a name for themselves tried to pick a fight with her just because of her reputation and the way she looked. She won of course, but her backpack, her lunch, and her school supplies all got crushed in the process. Overall, the morning so far had been a bit of a pisser. SSDD.

Finally though she arrived at UA, and she found she only had to duck once before learning that the school really did build all its doors and hallways to accommodate what a forgiving person might call "the more challenging students". What's more, there were other students there who looked almost as weird as she did. Hooks, fangs, feathers, claws, teeth and tongues. Mutations and guady getups of all kinds surrounded her, from the teachers and the students to the faculty and the lunch ladies. They even had made a special desk for her upon request which she found waiting for her in her classroom, a monstrous chair more like a throne but which fit her like a glove.

Makoto looked around, a grin on her face. What was this strange feeling she felt growing inside her? This warm, almost pleasurable feeling? Was it... excitement? Was she actually excited to go to school? Well that was new.

Her spirits unusually high, she sat down at her desk and opened up her coin purse, spilling her spending money all over her desk (contrary to popular belief, she did not beat people up for their lunch money). She counted out what she thought she might need now that her homemade lunch was a smeared mess on the inside of her backpack, settling on a 1000¥ budget for the day, when she got distracted by the sound of a scribbling pen coming from the seat nearest to her.

With her height, it wasn't that hard to just lean over someone and see what they were doing, so she spotted Goro's drawings right away. It looked like some sort of mech suit, like something you'd see in an anime or a tokusatsu show. Makoto had found memories of those old shows she used to watch, but she couldn't really recognize the design the kid was drawing. Maybe it was original?

"Hey kid. Whatchyou drawing?" she asked bluntly, staring down at the portly young man. He probably wasn't much younger than her, but when you looked down on everyone from above like she did, it was hard not to think of anyone not in their late forties as a kid compared to you.

@Heckno12 Well that reduces Makoto's total number of potential friends by one...

Boku no Hero Academia

I'll try to post tonight if playing Dishonored doesn't keep me too distracted.

@Kreutzer The two existing females aren't really eye-candy for any womanizer though.

@olcharlieboi That's probably because most of the RPers are guys.

And also, since I didn't get a reply anymore, is it fair to assume that Mei's good to go and ready for the character tab?

@Counter Coup

Hey! Makoto is a very attractive young woman! If you're into that kind of thing... and have a stepladder xD

Though I understand why she's not exactly a target for womanizers. I mean if Frin tried to pull any of his Casanova shit on her she'd probably just bust his balls (both figuratively and literally).

Boku no Hero Academia

On an unrelated note, I think Mei and Asahi could be good friends with Makoto. Mei because she can identify with Makoto's situation and Asahi because power armor is pretty much the only thing that'll let someone stand on equal footing with a 3m tall giant (both figuratively and literally) xD

HOLY SHIT IS THAT A MOTHERFUCKING JOJO REFERENCE???

Boku no Hero Academia

Makoto

"Yeah, sixth grade was kind of an awkward year for me..."

Name: Makoto "Oni" Yamazaki
Age: 17
Gender: Female

Hero Outfit: Makoto's only request was that they make her "something that fits". What she got was a skintight black leotard, a tiger-stripe bandito mask and ankle-length skirt equaling approximately one whole tiger, and a roll of bandages to wrap around her hands and feet. She was not amused. The suit is designed to breath though, and features an active cooling system that uses a series of miniaturized fans, liquid nitrogen refrigeration units, and fabric made from woven carbon nanofibres to beat the heat and reflect thermal radiation away from the body (basically, it does the opposite of a thermos). So I guess she really doesn't have much to complain about.

Quirk: Red Devil

A Mutation-type Quirk that grants super strength, speed, durability, and a few other minor unrelated abilities. Unlike many strength-enhancing Quirks, Makoto's strength is almost entirely physical, derived from the changes to her body and muscles made by her Quirk. With a height of around 3m and a well-developed, overtly obvious musculature, she weighs around 461kg. Her bones are much thicker but also more densely packed, resulting in a noticeable but negligible increase in the robustness of her frame compared to normal human proportions, and her muscles have to work harder to support her mass, including her heart which is larger and pumps blood much harder (this might be part of the reason she has red skin).

She has, on average, six times the muscle mass of a normal human just by virtue of sheer size, and those muscles are twice as densely packed as a normal human's. Fine motor control has also been partially inhibited, just like a chimpanzee, giving the illusion of an extra 200% increase in strength, resulting in a cumulative average of 24-30x normal human strength. By comparison, this makes Makoto's average punch as hard-hitting as a high-powered rifle round, or a small car moving at 30 mph. She can jump nearly 6m into the air, and can run in excess of 56 mph. Her deadlift record is nearly twelve tons.

In addition to being bigger (way bigger) and stronger, the scaling up of her body has had some... weird side effects in other areas. For one, larger eyes mean better night vision, and by the same logic, a more acute sense of smell and hearing. Due to the strain put on her body by her enormous strength, she's also become duller to pain than ordinary people are (punching through brick walls HURTS). A punch with normal strength is like a forehead flick to her; barely enough to wake her up from her nap. Finally, perhaps the oddest and, to her, most embarrassing, side effect is that her increased size means her body has become much, much worse at regulating its internal temperature, making her more prone to heat stroke, heavy sweating (requiring the use of a specially developed "full-body deodorant"), and even panting like a dog to disperse waste heat on hot days or during strenuous exercise. This is also expected to be the real cause of the flushed, ruddy red skin tone that gives her her nickname.

Backstory: For most of her entire life, Makoto has been one of those unfortunate people whose Quirk has caused them no end of trouble. It started when she was 4, like it does for most kids. Suddenly, almost overnight, it seemed like she'd started to grow. And grow, and grow, with alarmingly abnormal speed. Her skin turned red and little nubs began to grow out of her forehead, nubs which would later become horns. Her parents rushed her to the hospital, where they confirmed two things. That Makoto was indeed growing up and developing physically at an accelerated rate, and that this was definitely, absolutely related to her Quirk.

She was already taller than most of her teachers by the time she graduated from elementary school, and the problem only got worse during puberty when she started hitting her growth spurt. Now she stands nearly 3m tall, almost twice the height of other girls her age. Needless to say this has been a source of frequent discomfort and embarrassment for her. Bumping into street signs, crouching to get through doorways, breaking furniture, buying expensive, custom-made clothes and underwear just so she'll have something that fits, not being able to ride the bus or drive a car, always being stared at and asked to lift heavy objects or grab things that are out of reach, these are all normal things for Makoto, and have been for years.

School was by far the worst though. Boys her age would make fun of her and girls her age would call her a freak, so even in a world where 80% of the population has some sort of strange abnormality, her chances of finding a boyfriend or having a normal social life were shot pretty much from the word "go". Bullying became the norm, and even though all she wanted was to make a few friends, the constant abuse made Makoto withdraw emotionally and develop an irritated, irascible attitude. Striking preemptively at people she thought might make fun of her, she used her Quirk to turn herself into a figure to be feared. Why bother trying to make friends when you already know everyone's just gonna make fun of you? Better to make them afraid of you. That way they'll at least leave you alone. That was her reasoning, at least.

By the time she moved on from junior high, she was a full-blown delinquent, having picked up both the nickname "Oni" (due to her distinctive appearance), and a reputation for leaving bruises and broken bones in her wake. She hated both, but honestly couldn't look back and say she'd have done it any differently. However the future was another matter. UA was her last chance to not be a dropout or a failure in the eyes of society, so she reasoned, and so she decided to apply to the Hero Course. Maybe, a long-buried part of her hoped, she'd be accepted by her classmates in an environment more forgiving of unique Quirks. Maybe being a hero could give her a place to belong where she wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb.

Supporting Characters: Not many besides her parents.
Other: Her deepest, darkest desire is to ride a giant llama (one that won't be crushed under her weight).

@Turboshitter

Y'know I thought your name was Turboshifter originally. Glad to be wrong.

Edit: Also, I have to say a fight between our characters would be a pain for both sides. Dan would be almost impossible to hit and completely unable to damage Makoto.

@Heckno12

Yeah, I imagine it'd be somewhat akin to an obese, geriatric elephant trying to swat a coked-up housefly with its trunk after undergoing general anesthetic xD

Fair warning though, she punches pretty damn fast. Doesn't take super reflexes to throw a super-speed punch (if my stupidly basic napkin math is indicative of anything, the amount of kinetic energy she can produce with a punch would move an arm with the same mass as hers at around 200 m/s).

EDIT: Nope my math was way off. Turns out Makoto's arms should weigh about 22-28kg each given her overall mass, so her punches would only move at 55 m/s or 123mph.

Boku no Hero Academia

@kidjab
It's alright, there would be ways to get past the lack of kinetic energy like having a device apart of her suit that constantly generates kinetic energy since she can take it some from her surroundings if I remember what I read. as for when we are starting, that is uncertain atm. It could be a little while since we did have a lot of people applying for the roleplay and I want to give everyone a chance to actually apply with character(s). Because if they don't get in before the start they would have to wait for the second school year, and at that point we would have split classes.

@olcharlieboi

Really, really late, but I felt I had to comment on this (and believe me, I say this with no ill will intended). I know this is a superhero RP so "lolphysics what's that?", but this makes my inner science guy laugh so hard knowing that a suit device like that would have to be some sort of magic "infinite vacuum energy" generator in order to supply enough kinetic energy even to create something as small as a marble lol. Momo's powers have the same problem, really. Bitches be dissing MC Albert and his homeboys special relativity and conservation of energy xD

Hider

For those interested, the energy needed to create a brick wall from kinetic energy like the Flash does with his clothes (although that's technically incorrect) would mean you'd have to run at literally a few millionths of a percentage beneath light speed. Doing so wouldn't create a brick wall though, just an explosion of high-energy particles and radiation equal to about 103 gigatons of TNT.
